Unrooted Xoom here.

Just found this app (thanks to a forum member!) and I'm wondering if I can use it to uninstall apps I don't want i.e Dungeon Defender.

TIA
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Not sure but I know root explorer works.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
I'd be curious why you don't just do so through the Market? Either way ES File Explorer is great -- I use it to manage files on my server both through FTP and my local network. Fantastic app it is!
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You can get rid of anything in /system/app just by renaming it so it doesn't end in apk.
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
I am wanting to delete some of the pre-installed apps.

They don't show up as market downloads.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
You can't remove system apps through the market.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
My bad didn't read far enough! I just tried unrooted and it was unsuccessful. Back on the phone it was easy to do. Not sure if its the same as I'm waiting to root. But go to the menu, click manage, then apps. Again rooted may be a different story.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Don't you need root to be going around and messing with system files? Pretty sure you do, but I might be wrong.

Just yesterday I bought my inspire, rooted it, and installed core droid.so far I'm loving it! I just have one question, I read around that to use the mobile hotspot without extra charges I need to set up a specific apn. Does this apply to custom roms too?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
Nope, if you have a custom rom that has it enabled just turn it on!
[HTC Inspire 4G] citlec53:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pioneer161:
I have a rooted Desire using unrevoked and am trying to use AdFree on 2.2 but I am told that the hosts file I need to block ads cannot be written to /system while Android is running. I did some searching but, alas, no luck on an answer.

I do not know how to get to a command prompt to follow the instructions in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696084 and have looked in the ClockworkMod Recovery mode for something similar.

Anyone have an idea?

edit:

I also got Root Explorer off the market (which cannot simply copy the hosts file into /system/etc/ as it does not have access whilst Android is running) and I think the command prompt I need is the pc cmd prompt when the device is plugged into USB, but I am unsure which drivers I need. The ones mention in Toastcfh's guide is for the EVO, not the Desire.

I wanted an X10 since I first heard of it but I waited more than a year for AT&T to carry it, even SE in the US started selling it several months before it was available somewhere else.

My question is, I am determined to buy this phone as soon as it comes out anywhere in the world. But I made a mistake of buying a phone from a foreign country and doesn't support AT&T's 3G frequency band (can only go up to EDGE), it was a Sony Ericsson P1, I am not sure if Android phone works the same way but is there's any way to find out before I order it online if the configuration of the phone is going to work with AT&T? 3G and the coming HSPA? (which I think are on the same band for AT&T)
[Android Software Development] XdaSubzer0:
Forgive me if this question has been answered in another thread I did search but could find the answer also forgive me if this is the wrong thread. I'm new to the android world fr I've been with Winmo. Ok my question.

I was wondering if I can use mobile hotspot if I root my android device from verizion ( droid incredible) without paying for the hotspot service they have. With tmobile all you need is a data plan which I have with verizion but hotspot cost extra. Is there a app or tweak etc to be able to use your data with Verizion mobile as a Wifi hotspot? Thanks

Search the market for wfi tether... and you need to be rooted
[Android Software Development] petermg:
I don't think you can find the google version in the market. Here is the link:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

There is also one in the market called Barnacle wifi tether. That one will probably work also. And yes, you need to be rooted. Unless you have a phone that already is set up to be a hot spot, like the MT4G, but I think it's restricted to only two connections. Not sure as I only used it briefly and rooted my phone and use the Google version hence forth.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid_Cudi:
Ok so I'm trying to push the Vanilla Clock to my Incredible so I can get rid of the Sense Lockscreen and still have a functioning alarm clock.

I boot into recovery, mount the system and type: adb push DeskClock.apk /system/app

I have the desk clock apk in my tools folder and my tools folder is cd

After I type that in I'm getting an error stating there isn't enough space on the device.

This shouldn't be an issue as i have plenty of internal and phone storage space.

Any ideas??

I tried using Root Explorer and just pasting the apk to the /system/app folder but it caused the clock to display a string of numbers underneath the time that should not have been there.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
If you are rooted you can do it while your phone is running. First run adb remount. You then should be able to push to your running system.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickerstick:
now for about a month I've had this issue after having almost lost my phone, I downloaded the Amon RA-PC36.img and renamed it to PC36.IMG and updated it, however any time I reboot from recovery even if I don't wipe or flash anything, My Screen does this.

Does anyone else have this issue?, what can I do to fix this, I've tried wiping everything in RA 2.3 and I've tried re-flashing the recovery from hboot. should I try going back to stock everything and return the phone? I've always had bad issues with the graphics and fps and its never really ran smooth i always just thought the adreno 200 was just a horrible graphics chip. maybe it's hardware?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
less and less every day.

once you have flashed the partition payout, you dont need to do it every time.

For sense free roms, use the 150 meg layout, for sense roms use 250, for simplicity use 250. You can flash 150meg roms onto 250 meg partition layouts, so its not a problem, you can set it up and forget about it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
Youre right Sam :)

But, I notice that some rom even need 400MB CWM Partition, such as Core Droid by Sergio. So it is not so practical to change CWM partition if we are flash addict:D

I am wondering, is there anyway to flash CWM via SD?

Cheers...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKILLx3RxX:
If I were to use super one click to unroot my atrix, would I have to removed any other things to be able to bring the phone back to factory settings? Does super one click remove the super user app? Or would I have to do that manually after or before the unroot? Same question for non-market place apps. I was going to return the phone to get it cheaper somewhere else.

Don't use SuperOneClick to root the phone, use aRoot in the development section instead, as its specifically for the Atrix, and can unroot.

SuperOneClick seems to create a little busybox mess since it's more of a universal phone tool, rather then Atrix specific.

how do i do that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Read the guides.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
1. The phone with the red triangle icon is from the stock Recovery program. Stock recovery does nothing except show you that screen, unless a special file is found on the SD card, used for a complete system restore. Your flash of ClockworkMod Recovery was unsuccessful.

2. When you do go get past the S=Off phase, and are ready to once again attempt to install CWM Recovery, be sure you install the

CORRECT

version. CWMR 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread (Android 2.3) based ROMs only! Don't install 3.0.0.5 expecting it to function properly for the Stock ROM, for Iced Glacier, or any other Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROMs. Those all require CWMR 2.x. A higher version number does not mean better. For example, if you are planning to install CM7, back up with CWMR 2.x, then flash CWMR 3.x before installing CM7.

(There is a special, unique to MT4G version of CWMR that handles both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, called "3.0.0.6". You can find threads on it in the Development subforum.)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
also working for a "boss" or company per say, is not as much fun as working on your own.

you have to follow all kind of boring rules, and you don't really get to do all the stuff that you want to it.

when you work on your own, you have total free control of the development

of course... the big difference is one gets you paid meanwhile doing what you like, and the other you don't get paid at all, and if lucky you might receive some donations

All I can think is that when I moved from the iphone over to android, I used "sms backup and restore" to transfer my messages. I think it may have effed up some permissions or something and now I can't delete these.

[Android Software Development] nitzanj:
You are asking something that requires:

1) AT LEAST one hour of work to put out anything good (usually a lot more though).

2) Decent artistic skills. Without any concept whatsoever, logo, icon, etc. the designer here needs to basically invent everything from the ground up.

3) High technical skills that usually come after years of experience.

People are happy to help out their fellow devs here, when it's a free project. But for something commercial, 20$ just ain't going to cut it IMO.

This is below the hourly wage for a decent graphic designer in most places.

Personally I'm a hobbyist in that department, and I'd be happy to spend a couple of hours trying to create something, but my time is quite expensive and 20$ is pretty far from worth it.

Just my opinion....

This is not a high volume application. We currently don't have the revenue to hire a graphics designer. We realize that this contest isn't ideal for everyone. We are looking for hobbyist or new graphic designers that want to get their name out there.
